Torok was originally a Human spellcaster in an age of magic and fairies, before there were countries. In that time there was a balance between Humans and fairy creatures. Torok married Eunice St. Clair and taught her how to use magic. However, he later desired to break the balance between the Humans and the Fairies. This started a war, which the Humans won. As punishment, Torok was transformed into a troll.
